Queens of the Stone Age at Gibson Amphitheatre

How many major contemporary rock bands are we down to in America? A couple dozen, maybe? That’s the desert-dry landscape that Queens of the Stone Age returns to with “… Like Clockwork,” and fortunately it does everything a good rock record should — wringing new blood from classic forms and sounding absolutely sexy and a little scary while doing it. Gibson Amphitheatre, 100 Universal City Blvd., Universal City. 8 p.m. Sat. $35-$60. livenation.com
